CME Group is preparing a technical expansion of its Globex platform for Sunday, November 15, with the related futures trade date beginning Monday, November 16. The update follows the exchange's November 2 Globex notice, as summarized in the latest CME Group report.

CME Group stock traded at 273.70 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 16:32:36 CET on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

More implied trading for spreads

For selected short-term interest-rate futures, Globex will extend implied trading to calendar and butterfly spreads with mixed tick sizes. The change is intended to support price discovery and order matching efficiency.

Implied calculations on the second leg of calendar spreads will be rounded down for bids and up for asks to the nearest valid leg tick. Butterfly matches may create split-price fills on the second leg, while clients are encouraged to test execution, rounding and fill processing in the New Release environment.

New contracts and future pipeline

The November 15 timetable also includes an exchange-defined implied equity-index calendar futures spread using strategy type AQ. Affected contracts include E-mini S&P 500 Equal Weight futures and futures tied to the Russell 1000 and Russell 2000 indexes.

A Nikkei Basis Trade at Cash Open is scheduled for November 15, subject to regulatory review, with trading planned to begin on Wednesday, November 18. CME Group's notice also includes Treasury Link spreads for the first quarter of 2027. The planned transaction would connect BrokerTec US Treasury cash instruments with CBOT Treasury futures in a single spread, also subject to regulatory review.
